[Scene 1: Classroom – Morning]
Narrator:
In a quiet classroom on a sunny morning, four students are gathered around a table, excitedly discussing their next project. It is a time of creativity, friendship, and dreams. But little do they know, their journey will take an unexpected turn.
Liu Yuying:
Hey, Zhou Xiang, what did you think of the play we saw last week? “The Butterfly Lovers” was so beautiful! I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Zhou Xiang:
Yeah, it’s amazing how a simple love story can touch people’s hearts. I’ve been wondering… what if the story had a different ending?
Liu Yuying:
Oh, like a new version? That sounds fun!
Mr. Li (entering):
What’s this? A new version of The Butterfly Lovers? Sounds interesting. What’s your idea?
Zhou Xiang:
We were thinking of making it more modern. Maybe set it in today’s world. Let’s see... instead of being separated by death, maybe they find a way to be together again.
Mr. Li:
That’s a great concept! You could explore themes like love, identity, and destiny. I’d love to help you develop it.
Narrator:
And so, the four friends began to write a new version of an old tale—one that would bring laughter, tears, and a deeper understanding of love.
[Scene 2: Park – Afternoon]
Liu Yuying:
Okay, so in our version, Liu Yuying is still a girl, but she’s not going to be a traditional student. She’s actually a tech-savvy programmer who loves coding.
Zhou Xiang:
And Zhou Xiang is her best friend. He’s into music and poetry. They meet at a university where they both study different things, but their connection is strong.
Mr. Li:
That’s a good start. Now, how do they meet? What happens between them?
Liu Yuying:
They meet during a coding competition. Zhou Xiang helps her fix a bug, and they start talking. They become really close.
Zhou Xiang:
But then, something happens. Maybe Liu Yuying gets a scholarship to study abroad, and they have to say goodbye.
Mr. Li:
That’s a common theme. But how will you make it unique?
Narrator:
As the story unfolds, the characters face challenges that test their bond. Love, distance, and the question of whether true love can survive time and space.
[Scene 3: Flashback – University Library]
Liu Yuying:
I remember the day we met. I was stuck on a problem, and he just walked over and said, “Let me help.”
Zhou Xiang:
You were working on a complicated algorithm. I thought you were trying to solve the universe!
Liu Yuying:
But you made it easier. And from that day on, we were inseparable.
Narrator:
Their friendship grows, and soon, feelings begin to blossom. But fate has other plans.
[Scene 4: Airport – Morning]
Liu Yuying:
I don’t want to go. I don’t want to leave you behind.
Zhou Xiang:
I know. But this is your chance. You’ll be able to grow, learn, and come back stronger.
Liu Yuying:
But what if I never come back?
Zhou Xiang:
Then I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes.
Narrator:
And so, they part ways. But the story doesn’t end there.
[Scene 5: Present Day – City Street]
Narrator:
Years later, the two meet again. Liu Yuying has returned, changed and grown. Zhou Xiang has stayed behind, still waiting.
Liu Yuying:
I missed you. I missed this city, this life, and most of all, you.
Zhou Xiang:
I never stopped waiting.
Narrator:
And in that moment, they realize that love is not about time or distance—it’s about choice, courage, and the heart.
[Final Scene: Stage – Sunset]
Narrator:
So, in this new version of The Butterfly Lovers, love finds a way. It may not be perfect, but it’s real. And that is what makes it beautiful.
All Characters (together):
Love is eternal. No matter where we go, no matter what happens, we will always find our way back to each other.
[Curtain closes.]
